The film's aimlessness and repetitiveness eventually become draining.

Truthfully, it's hard to imagine a better screen adaptation of this queer household. Addams would have been proud.

More than merely a sequel of the TV series, the film is a compendium of paterfamilias Charles Addams's macabre drawings, a resurrection of the cartoonist's body of work. For family friends, it would seem a viewing is de rigueur mortis.
